liminaries starting Friday, with the finals scheduled for Saturday night. Nebnslu Chances Slim. The return of Kahler was a decided boon to Nebraska's waning chances of successfully defending her indoor champion- ship. The Grand Island husky is the Huskers high-point winner to date and will have an odds-on chance of winning both the high and low hurdles Saturday at Columbia, besides earning a placement point in the high OB UUiLER jump. In figuring out the Husker track artists' prospects of beating out the favored Missouri and Kansas State clubs, Coaches Ed Weir and Harold Pete have decided that only a miracle can keep the championship on Nebraska soil.

Husker mentors have checked and double-checked the event times turned in by every conference foe and state that Nebraska's only hope depends on whether every member of the squad can compete above the marks of previous performances. "Burs hoi" SlmsMBS. Ths only reasonably sure ln for the Husker books is Bob Simmons, defending champion, in the quarter-mile dash snd even he will be pressed In his pet event by Missouri snd Oklahoma runners.

who answers to the name of Tony Galento, doesn't even smile when he says he' will knock out Joe Louis, heavyweight champion of the world, when they meet in the ring next June. Galento assured International News Service todqy that he will win over Louis. He described Louis jf i it as a mecnanic ngnter. That Lightning Left. Yes? Well, how about Louis lightning left jab and that explosive right to the button, "Don't make me laugh," said I Galento, pulling his swimming i trunks around his robust tummy.

"I'll outgune that guy. There's only one way to fight Louis. I'll keep on top of him. I'll crowd him. After I slug him with a few rights and lefts, he'll dog it." Yeah? Isn't it truv, Mr.

Galento, that you take two punches to de liver one, and won't that system be just too bad against Louis? He's A "I'm more scientific than people think," replied the supremely confident Galento. "I'll be in there, weaving and throwing punches, and that colored fellow will soon realize" he is up against tough meat. I have told youse guys I would whip the mugs I have been fighting and you know what happened. I won. I kayoed them.

I'll do the same with Louis." Galento's manage', the chatty Joe Jacobs, who has been in Max Schmeling's corner and knows his stuff, took over the conversation. He declared that for the past two years Galento has been singing one refrain, i-'amely, "Get Me Joe Louis." Mike In Full Command. Mike Jacobs, the promoter, said UrcUCIllU Will HKllb ttuv UictvG flab he (Mike) decides. Mike said Louis, more so than Galento, will have the say-so as to where the battle is to be staged, because Joe is the champion. But, over and above everybody, Mike assured me he will make the final decision regarding the battle ground.

All that is certain is that Ga-lento-Louis fight will be put on late in June. Mike Jacobs said he will give due consideration to the bids of various groups New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and New Jersey or any one else throughout the country who comes up with right proposition. Mike is sure of just one thing he will promote the fight. Scarlet Matmen At Home vs. Grinnell Three senior members of the University of Nebraska wrestling squad will be making their final home appearance of the season at the coliseum when, following the Nebraska-Oklahoma basketball game, the Husker matmen will tangle with Grinnell college.

The three graduating seniors who will be seen in scarlet tights for the last time Saturday include Jim Knight, Council Bluffs' 128- pounder, who in three years of competition has established a high scoring record of approximately 115 points; Bill Luke, Lincoln, 145-pounder, ho has not suffered a fall in two years and who has been only second to Kjjght in point-making for the Scarlet, and Julius Wittmann. Lincoln' 155 nrmnripr who after a one year pounaer, wno, uie layoff, came back to upset the' Big Six champion the Kansas dual meet earlier in the season. Coach Jerry Adam's grapplers will experience plenty of opposi tion in the formidable, unnneii squad, and even though the visitors are favored to win, the Scarlet may be' capable of rising to the heights, as against Kansas State, and downing the powerful Iowans.

Pop Back In Harness As Advisory Tutor SAN JOSE, CaL, March 2 (INS) Entrance of the San Jose State college Spartans' grid teams into the ranks of Pacific coast's "little big" football aggregations was predicted today with the signing of Glenn "Pop" Warner as advisory coach.

Acquisition of Warner, it was believed, will give San Jose an opportunity to line up more games with ma jor colleges, while its teams gain strength from expert tutelage by one of the games' shrewdest For several years, the Spartons, coached by a Warner pupil, Dud De Groot, have been foro ut of their class. Two years ago, they were the high scoring team of the nation. Warner, formerly coach at Stanford and recently resigned from a similar position at Temple uni-. versity, declined to disclose what he will be paid or the tenure of his contract.

The spectators will see two of the conference's best guards Capt John Lobsiger of Missouri and Lyman Corlis of Kansas and a point-making proficiency in which every player has a star Lobsiger is so good that Coach George Edwards seldom, substitutes for his "iron man" lest his championship castle collapse.

CHARLES.

"CHUCK" GATELY, former Havelock high- coach now operating a business in Jefferson, was on hand for the A and regional tournaments in Lincoln as opening games were played Gately reports that night football at Jefferson brought a substantial increase in attendance, an item of interest in Lincoln, 'since lights are to be installed at Lincoln high this fall Gately was "ribbing" other coaches about how much fun it was to watch a game without the nervous tension And he took time out to decry toe low wages being paid teachers and coaches in Nebraska and Iowa "Last year, I cleared much more money from my store than I could have earned by coaching," Gately remarked, "although it's harder work." OWARD DEBUS, the state's fall, broke into the starting lineup with Lincoln high's cage clan Wednesday night and played a grand defensive ball game, meanwhile scoring two baskets, his first points of the year for Lincoln Coach Ralph with 11 cagers on, his Lincoln high squad, was in a quandary whom to drop f-r the regional and state tournaments, where, 10 is the limit He finally had Henry Reichel and Leslie King, the two who had playecnheleast, flipTW Reichel won and chose to play in the regional, so King draws a state tourney suit if Lincoln beats Teachers high Thursday night.

Only five returning lettermen are back in the Husker fold this spring, but the fact that the practice sessions have been changed from the Ag college to the downtown campus this year has more than doubled the list of candidates and Coach Knight eagerly awaits the, first seal, practice workout on the new campus diamond.

Clifton Gustafson was a step nearer today to his ambition to gain recognition as the world's heavyweight wrestling champion when he conquered Allen Eustace, the veteran Kansas grappler. In two straight falls in the main event of the 4-H wrestling card Wednesday night before approximately 750 Gustafson-conscibus mat fans. Eustace Outclassed. The Minnesota ex-amateur king took the first fall in 21 minutes and 5 seconds with a flying body scissors which dropped the surprised Eustace to the mat, shoulders down, while the second fail was won by the young Adonis from the north in 7:01 as he applied a rolling grapevine to finish his opponent with the greatest of ease. Inspired by the cries of the railbirds, "match him with Pesek," Promoter Adam Krieger was working overtime Wednesday night in an effort to match the young aspirant with the old master, Tigerman Pesek, and if managerial difficulties do not present themselves, the two may have at it in the near future.
